ESRI Data and Maps for ArcGIS, ArcGIS StreetMap USA (2004)
Overview | Networked Access | Library Access | Documentation | Restrictions | Directory Structure | Previous Versions
Overview
A wide variety of feature and attribute data are available on a 4 DVD-set that is delivered with ArcGIS 9.0. This data is network accessible to NCSU users. World, U.S. general, U.S. detailed, Canada, Mexico and European data are available. The data are in shapefile and various raster formats and are generally in geographic coordinates/decimal degrees (US data generally NAD 83). Detailed U.S. data is generally of 1:100,000 scale and organized into national or state level data sets. European data is generally 1:3,000,000 scale. For detailed information see the ESRI Data & Maps help (NCSU) or the Data & Maps (ESRI) page.
Note: With the 2004 version of Esri Data & Maps, all vector data layers are in Smart Data Compression (SDC) format, and can only be used in software capable of reading .SDC files. Therefore, these data cannot be directly read into ArcView 3.x or any other GIS software except ArcGIS 8.x or higher. However, SDC data files can be exported to shapefiles using ArcGIS.
What's New in 8.3: See the What's new in ESRI Data & Maps page for a full listing of what's new.
Networked Access
The ESRI Data collection is currently accessible via the Geodata Server or FTP to ftp://gisdata.lib.ncsu.edu/esri2004/. The data can be found in the /esri2004 directory and is organized into subdirectories as shown in the directory structure listing.
For detailed data listings, and to see expanded descriptions and additional data layer information, click one of the following links:
 Please Note: ESRI Data and Maps 2005 version was not cataloged due to there not being significant changes from 2004. In 2006, ESRI released an "updated" version of 2005 Data and Maps. The 2005 version and 2006 updates are all available from ftp://gisdata.lib.ncsu.edu/esri2005/. The 2007 version will be cataloged when it is released.
Library Access
The DVDs are available for use in DH Hill Library, and are stored in the Reference Area GIS cabinet of DH Hill Library under call number G70.212 .E77 2004.
Documentation & Metadata
Detailed metadata is available from links on the ESRI Data & Maps help page. An overview is provided at the ArcData ESRI Data & Maps page.
Restrictions
Much of the data has been provided by multiple, third party data vendors under license to ESRI for inclusion on ESRI Data & Maps CD-ROMs for use with ESRI software. In general, most of the data is licensed for use by NCSU affiliates only in conjunction with the ESRI site license and redistribution is not allowed unless otherwise specified. See the Redistribution Rights page for a listing of dataset distribution restrictions.
Directory Structure
ESRI Data & Maps 2004
See the ESRI Data & Maps Directory Structure page for details. The ESRI Data 2004 collection is located under the /esri2004 directory on the Geodata Network server (or ftp://gisdata.lib.ncsu.edu/esri2004/).
ArcGIS StreetMap USA
StreetMap USA files are available in the /StreetMap USA directory, see the ArcGIS StreetMap USA page for details.
The primary StreetMap USA layers (the major roads and detailed streets) are in a proprietary format and cannot be used without having the StreetMap Extension installed on ArcGIS 8.x or higher.
Global and North American Elevation Data
Several ArcGIS GRIDs and MrSID images are in the /esri2004/images/ folder for small scale elevation mapping.
Previous Versions
Previous versions of ESRI Data and Maps are still available: 1999 Data for ArcView 3.2, 2000 Data for ArcGIS 8.1, and 2003 Data for ArcGIS 8.3.
ESRI Data & Maps for 2002 was not documented here, or loaded onto the Geodata server, but is available from Data Services.
